Verdict by buyer type

Solo developers who want to start free
Cursor

Cursor's Hobby plan is free with no credit card, with limited Agent requests and a monthly Tab allowance. Augment Code lists three plans, Standard, Business and Enterprise, and none is free.

Teams that would rather pay for usage than seats
Augment Code

Augment Code's Standard plan is $20 per month flat for the whole team, up to 50 seats, with $20 of usage included; more usage is pay as you go, at the model provider's list price plus a 40% service fee on LLM usage. Cursor's Teams plan charges per user: $32 per month billed yearly or $40 monthly.

Developers who want an AI editor with autocomplete
Cursor

Cursor is a desktop editor with Tab autocomplete, unlimited on paid plans. Augment Code retired inline completions on March 31, 2026 for every plan except Enterprise, and its pages document no editor of its own.

Developers staying in VS Code or JetBrains
Augment Code

Augment Code has a VS Code extension and a plugin for all JetBrains IDEs, both with its agent. Cursor's pages document no VS Code extension: Cursor is its own editor, which runs VS Code extensions. In JetBrains IDEs its agent runs through the Agent Client Protocol in the AI Chat panel and needs a paid Cursor plan.

Developers who bring their own API keys
Cursor

Cursor accepts OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock keys for chat models; requests still pass through Cursor's backend. Augment Code offers its own keys only to Enterprise tenants that hold their own enterprise agreement with Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS or GCP.

Enterprises that need on-prem or VPC deployment
Augment Code

Augment Code lists on-prem deployment, VPC deployment and single-tenant instances, and its agents can run on self-hosted daemons or Kubernetes (early access), still calling Augment's services for the models. Cursor states it does not offer on-premises deployment; only cloud agents' tool execution can move to machines you manage.

Security and compliance buyers
Cursor

Both document SOC 2 Type II and offer a HIPAA BAA, Cursor's on Enterprise only. Cursor also documents ISO 27001:2022 and includes SSO on its Teams plan. Augment Code's pages do not document ISO 27001, and SSO is on its Enterprise plan only.

Models and usage

 CursorAugment Code
User can choose the AI modelYes
Pick a model or use Auto (Cursor Router). Hobby gets a smaller model set; paid plans unlock all models; Enterprise admins can restrict models.
Yes
Model picker in the IDE, Cosmos (per Expert or session) and Auggie CLI (/model or --model). Prism routers can pick the model automatically.
Model families offeredCursor models (Grok 4.7, 4.6, 4.5; Composer 2.5), OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and others
Grok models are listed as Cursor models in the Cursor Models usage pool. The docs model table also lists Meta, Moonshot and Z.ai models.
Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Zhipu AI GLM, Moonshot AI Kimi, and Augment's Prism routers
Current list includes Claude Fable 5.1, Opus 5, Sonnet 5, Haiku 4.5, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Grok 4.6, GLM 5.3 Flash and Kimi K3. The Prism routers combine Claude and Gemini, or GPT, models.
Bring your own API keyYes
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock keys; chat models only (Tab stays on Cursor models). Requests still pass through Cursor's backend. Individual plans: not counted against included usage. Teams/Enterprise: $0.25 per million tokens Cursor Token Rate still applies. Enterprise admins can disable BYOK. Cursor's zero data retention does not cover BYOK requests.

How paid-plan usage is limitedMonthly included model usage in two pools (Cursor Models; Other Models at API prices), then optional on-demand pay-as-you-go at API rates
Pro+ has 3x and Ultra 20x Pro Agent limits; Teams Premium has 5x Standard. Usage resets monthly without rollover. Teams and Enterprise add a $0.25 per million tokens Cursor Token Rate on third-party models. Enterprise offers pooled usage.
Monthly usage allowance in dollars ($20 Standard, $100 Business), shared across the team, with pay-as-you-go top-ups
Usage is charged as LLM tokens at the provider's list price, plus a 40% service fee on LLM usage, plus Cosmos compute at $0.19/hour. Top-ups are valid for 12 months. Enterprise has custom usage limits and admin-set budgets.
Open-source clientNo
Proprietary client. The public github.com/cursor/cursor repository holds a README and issue templates, not the app source. Some auxiliary repos are open source (e.g. plugins, SDK bridge, Terraform provider).
No
Auggie CLI is under a custom proprietary licence. The Vim/Neovim plugin wrapper is MIT-licensed, but its bundled server is proprietary.

Privacy and team controls

 CursorAugment Code
Zero data retention optionYes
Applies with Privacy Mode on, available on every plan including free; on by default for Enterprise, enforceable org-wide by Teams and Enterprise admins. Exceptions: your own API keys, models that require provider retention (admin approval needed), and prompts flagged by providers' abuse classifiers.
Yes
Listed among the Cosmos enterprise security features. The page does not say which plan it needs or whether it is the default. Enterprise admins can allow-list or block models by their data-retention policy.
Code excluded from model trainingYes
Requires Privacy Mode. With Privacy Mode off, Cursor may use code data to train its models. Terms: Anysphere does not train on your content unless you explicitly agree.
Yes
Paid plans, under the Professional and Enterprise Terms. The Community Terms instead let Augment use Customer Code to train models.
Self-hosted or on-premises deploymentNo
No on-premises deployment; the service runs on AWS. Cloud Agent tool execution can move to Self-Hosted Machines you manage, while Cursor still runs the agent loop and inference. AWS PrivateLink and Cloudflare Tunnel private connectivity are available.
Yes
The Cosmos page also lists VPC deployment and single-tenant instances. Agents can run on self-hosted daemons or self-hosted Kubernetes (early access, Linux only), but still make LLM calls to Augment's services.
Team admin dashboard and usage analyticsYes
Teams plan and up: centralized billing and administration with usage analytics. Enterprise adds SCIM, audit logs, AI Code Tracking API and Conversation Insights.
Yes
Usage analytics dashboards and budgets are Enterprise-only (the pricing table marks Usage Analytics as Enterprise-only). On the Business plan, Team admins can invite and remove members and manage seats and billing.
